Hello Knopers!

Might be a good time to provide some feedback on what's happening with the Knop for Lasso 9 efforts.

Tim Taplin and myself has finally finished putting all the parts together. So all types and methods now have a 9 implementation. That includes the missing nav and grid types.
And it's working. Or not depending on point of view.
It's working in the regard that it works the way we use Knop in the Amtac projects. It's not working fully when tested with the existing demo package. It renders the first page with a grid list of customers but something in the nav interaction makes the navigation fail from that point.

I have nevertheless committed the existing version to Knop repository at Google code. If anyone have the time and possibility it would be of value to have other test it with the way you use Knop. I'm certain that there're plenty of bugs left to smash.

I am starting to see significant light in the end of the tunnel and hope we can have a fully working Knop for 9 available in the not to distant future. Unfortunately, since it's working for us the way we use Knop, the pace might slow a bit.

If you care to test the present version be sure to compile the files before use. If not you will experience ISEs since it takes too long for Lasso to compile on the fly.

The fact that Lassosoft right now focuses on Lasso 8.6 has been a slowing factor. There is a bug in the general distribution of Lasso 9 that has a severe effect on the usage of unknowntag. This method is a vital part of among other types the Lang type. Kyle provided a temporary fix in the latest SVN version but that unfortunately renders the makefile unusable pressing me to either be able to test Knop without being affected by the unknowntag bug or to be able to compile the code. I can't for the moment have both.
I sure wish Lasso 8.6 is released soon so that Lassosoft again can focus on Lasso 9. That's where the future lies!
